The tale of a young Green Beret medic, Vietnam combat veteran with the top secret Studies and Observations Group (SOG) who was recruited by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Schofield worked five and a half years providing medical support for the Hmong and other Hill Tribes who fought the CIA’s secret war in Northern Laos, and was among the last Americans to leave SE Asia in May 1975. It was a surreal time and place that would be impossible to even imagine today.

Jane Fonda should read this!
Revisado: 01-02-21
This is a great book about great Americans sacrificing their livelihood for the better of the world. unlike activists like Jane f****** Fonda who just bitch for attention to better themselves. Unlike the men and women who fight and die for those very freedoms to have a platform to complain in the first place. double standards seem to be the foundation for the left to sabotage our great country.

General Chuck Yeager was the greatest test pilot of them all - the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound...the World War II flying ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang...the hero who defined a certain quality that all hotshot fly-boys of the postwar era aimed to achieve: the right stuff. Now he tells his whole incredible life story with the same “wide-open, full throttle” approach that has marked his astonishing career.

April 25, 1986 in Chernobyl was a turning point in world history. The disaster not only changed the world’s perception of nuclear power and the science that spawned it, but also our understanding of the planet’s delicate ecology. With the images of the abandoned homes and playgrounds beyond the barbed wire of the 30-kilometer Exclusion Zone, the rusting graveyards of contaminated trucks and helicopters, the farmland lashed with black rain, the event fixed for all time the notion of radiation as an invisible killer.

I would recommend this to anyone who's interested in Nuclear power and or weapons. My Grandfather was one of 12 men to be sent from Berkeley Lab to start the LLNL in Livermore CA. he never talked much about the project's that he was involved with other than he worked on the Manhattan project and used to say he knew before the president of the United States did at the time. So I've been introduced to the subject at a young age and continues to fasinat me to this day Enjoy

Members of the military’s special operations branches share a closely guarded secret: They love their jobs. They relish the opportunity to fight. They are thankful for it, even, and hopeful that maybe they’ll get to kill a bunch of bad guys while they’re at it. You don’t necessarily need to thank them for their service - the pleasure is all theirs. In this hilarious and personal memoir, listeners ride shotgun alongside former Army Ranger and private military contractor and current social media phenomenon Mat Best, into the action and its aftermath, both abroad and at home.

Thank you for your service is a nonfiltered look into the lives of Veterens of our generation. They have answered the call and it's time recognize that now more than ever. I would say that it's time for us to take care of them, I believe that I think we need to get a stepping stone and this is definitely the one that woke me up

The downing of Extortion 17 spurred a number of conspiracy theories, such as the idea that the shootdown was revenge for bin Laden's death. In The Final Mission of Extortion 17, Ed Darack debunks this theory and others and uncovers the truth behind this mysterious tragedy. His account of the brave pilots, crew, and passengers of Extortion 17 and the events of that fateful day is interwoven into a rich, complex narrative that also discusses modern joint combat operations and the history of the Afghan war to that date.
